Jan will be performing a freely improvised set using a range of traditional, modified and self-designed aerophones.
Continuing her DIY explorations of instrument-building and feedback as a core component of sound production, OBC is wielding a homemade feedback bass based on the Halldorophone. This electro-acoustic instrument, being played with frequency-beating, oscillates between tonal noise and rhythms turning into an analog-acoustic drum machine. From there, a relation develops between the instrument and the player leading to an
improvisation that keeps evolving between resonant drone, textures and pure roaring noise.

JAN HENDRICKSE
Jan Hendrickse is an artist, musician, researcher and educator. He is work is concerned with a range of hybrid practices, often employing collaboration. He initially trained as a western Classical flute player and he has also studied several flute traditions including Turkish Ney, Chinese Xiao and Dizi as well as Rajasthani Satara and Alghoza. His PhD research explored respiratory aesthetics, involving instrument design, composition and improvisation. He has undertaken several international projects for the British Council including work in Tanzania, East Jerusalem and Nepal. He teaches at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and is a visiting lecturer at Listháskóli Ísland.
He has received commissions for concert, installation works and contemporary dance scores, as well as working as a performer and recording artist. He has performed with a wide range of artists from many traditions, as well as featuring regularly as a soloist on woodwind instruments for major film scores including The Lord of the Rings, The Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto and many others. He is currently working on a new commission for Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival for the Borindo, a five thousand year old ceramic flute from Sindh in Pakistan.
OBC (Objet Bruitiste Contemporain)
OBC is a French sound artist and performer based in Reykjavik, Iceland. She studies feedback phenomena and their relations to ghosts under the direction of Nicola Privato while conceiving her own instrumental devices. She explores free improvisation with her DIY feedback instrument(s) : semi-critical systems creating tipping points between rhythms and sounds. Active as an artist, a sound engineer and an organiser within Geneva and Reykjavik’s DIY/DIT underground scenes, she creates a rich sonic landscape that is built from the diversity of her inspirations and her musical approaches : sometimes drony, sometimes noisy but always punk.
